The first seder happened on the eve of the Exodus from Egypt. Tradition puts the date at 1312 BCE.
Why didn't Jesus go into hiding after the last supper?
Answer:
It was AT THAT TIME and AT THAT PASSOVER of that year, that the prophecy that was the Passover would be fulfilled in Him, according to His Father's plan.
"...for even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us..." (I Cor.5:7).
He had either hidden and/or escaped from attempts on His life on other occasions during the previous three years, because Satan had been trying to influence men to kill Him before it was the right time. But, God's will was done.
Jesus is the "center" of all seven of God's annual Holy Day feasts, beginning with the Passover (which is not a feast, but a "memorial," 'this do in remembrance of Me')... and each of them will be fulfilled WHEN IT'S THE RIGHT TIME on whatever day they fall, according to scripture, just like the Passover, the feast days of Unleavened Bread that began that next day, and Pentecost, the day the Apostles received the gift of the Holy Spirit on the actual day it was to be observed by law.
But, no one knows which year Jesus will fulfill the last four. Nor will He hide when the time comes.
Why did jesus have a last supper?
Jesus had a last supper because the next day he is going to die on the cross
Is the Lord's supper the Last supper?
No. The Lord's Supper commemorates the Last Supper, at which Christ ate with His disciples, and proclaimed the bread and the wine as His body and blood.
The difference is that the Last Supper was a onetime event, while the Lord's Supper is the Christian church's regular celebration of Christ's sacrifice for our forgiveness. It is also known as Holy Communion or, in some churches, the Eucharist.

When was and who by was the door cut into the famous painting the last supper?
The door was cut into the painting in 1652. At the time, the painting was unrecognizable, and the door has since been bricked up. Exactly who cut the door is not known.
What is the most accurate portait of jesus?
This is an interesting question because no one knows the answer. We have no pictures of Jesus. There were no cameras back then. We have to come up with an answer like this. What does a normal Jew look like? He does not look like the lilly white man that is pictured in so many pictures. The average Jew has darker skin. The man usually wore a beard. I think you could look at an average male Jew today who lives in Israel. Dress him up in the clothing that was worn in Biblical times and you could have a man that looked like Jesus.
Was the last supper on Good Friday?
No, the Last Supper was celebrated on the night prior to what is now known as Good Friday. Maundy Thursday is now the commemoration of the events on the night of Jesus' arrest.
Did the last supper begin with eleven and they chose Barnabas to be number twelve?
All of the disciples were present at the beginning of the last supper, but Judas left early in order to meet with the Jewish leaders to betray Jesus. He later committed suicide and Matthias was chosen as his replacement.
What did Jesus bless first at the Last Supper?
The bread. We are told that he took the cup "after supper" and blessed it.
Was Palm Sunday before the last supper?
Yes it was. It is the Sunday before Easter Sunday, so it is the Sunday before Holy Thursday, which is when the last supper was.
How long from the end of the Last Supper until His death on cross?
Some say the supper ended around 9 PM and He went to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray and await His betrayal - somewhere around 11 PM. He died on the cross at 3:00 PM Passover Day. This would be about 18 hours.
What was Barabas's mission in Jesus's time?
Barabas didn't have a mission until after the death of Jesus. From murderer to Christian, Barabas was a driving force behind the Christian movement in the days just after Jesus died.
It was Peter.
John 13:8, 9 - Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me." Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!"
[NKJV]
How long did the last supper take?
The last supper held with Jesus must have taken a while. If you read the Bible they talked and ate and Jesus was trying to prepare the disciples for his death and how their lives would change after he was crucified. During the evening he also told them about remembering him by eating bread and wine and also washed their feet.
When they went to pray in the garden afterwards it was very late and the disciples were so tired they kept falling asleep even though Jesus asked them to stay awake.
I think they did a lot on the day Jesus was arrested.
Additional Answer:
Customarily, the Passover Meal (aka Last Supper) which Jesus and His disciples celebrated, would begin at sunset of Nisan 14. It would last about 3 hours and end with singing.
Does Peter talks about the Lord's Supper?
There is every chance that all of the Apostles spoke about the last Supper. They would have spoken about the dead Lord still possessing a body of flesh and bone. Of His setting the example of the Sacrament and telling Judus to go and do what he had to do.
Why is bread and wine relevant to the last supper?
because Jesus said "this wine is my blood and this bread is my body," at the last supper before he was crucified
What is the difference between the synoptic accounts of the Last Supper and that of John's Gospel?
A:In the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), the Last Supper takes place on the evening of the day of the Passover - it is the Jewish Seder feast. John's Gospel moves the chronology (eg John 19:14) so that in his crucifixion, Jesus was the sacrificial lamb of the Passover, and therefore this gospel omits the ritual Last Supper. Apart from mentioning that Jesus and the disciples had their evening meal, John replaces the Last Supper by a ritual in which Jesus washes the feet of the disciples.
What did the words said by Jesus at the last supper mean?
"Is it I?"

What are the reason for writing the gospel New Testament?
The Old Testament bore the promise of the Christ... the New Testament testifies to its fulfillment.
The unbelief of God's "elect," the two houses of Israel, caused them to stumble, fall and be scattered. But this resulted in the closed door of their exclusivity to be opened to "all the families on earth" [Gen.26:4] to God's salvation through Christ.
"...to him who knocks, the door will be opened." (Matt.7:8 NIV)
"...The LORD spoke to me with His strong hand upon me, warning me not to follow the way of this people. He said: 'Do not call conspiracy everything that these people call conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it.
"The LORD Almighty is the One you are to regard as Holy, He is the One you are to fear, He is the One you are to dread, and He will be your sanctuary; but for BOTH HOUSES OF ISRAEL He will be a Stone that causes men to stumble and a Rock that makes them fall. And for the people of Jerusalem [the Jews] He will be a trap and a snare. Many of them will stumble; they will fall and be broken, they will be snared and captured.'
"BIND UP THE TESTIMONY and SEAL UP THE LAW AMONG MY DISCIPLES.
"I will wait for the LORD, who is hiding His face from the House of Jacob, I will put my trust in Him." (Isa.8:11-17 NIV)
The New Testament COMPLETES the Bible... the testimony of God.
The Old Testament bore God's promises of the restoration of His Kingdom on earth and the salvation of mankind. The New Testament bears witness to the beginnings and the ongoing fulfillment of them.
"For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God's Truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs so that the Gentiles may glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: 'Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to your name.'
"Again, it says, 'Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people.'" (Rom.15:8-10 NIV)
Jesus' commissioned His disciples to "bind up the testimony" of the Word of God. He revealed Himself to them, that He was the One of whom the Old Testament prophesied:
"...'Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.'" (Luke 24:44 NIV)
"Then He opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures." (verse 45)
Jesus commissioned and inspired His disciples to write down and complete the Bible for us in these latter days that approach the final fulfillment of the last of the prophecies.
In His prayer to His Father in heaven regarding His disciples... Jesus also prayed for you and I:
"...'My prayer is not for them alone [not just His disciples]. I pray also for those who will believe in Me through their message..." (John 17:20 NIV).
That's why the New Testament is written: that you and I in these last days, so far removed from that time over two thousand years ago, might believe and grow in Jesus Christ. That we might not believe the conspiracies that men fear and dread... but learn to "fear and dread" Him.
"...since we are receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptibly with reverence and awe, for our 'God is a consuming Fire.'" (Heb.12:29 NIV)
Who could know this, except the disciples had the faith to "bind up" [complete] the testimony?
No, however about 62-64 C.E., Peter preached the good news in Babylon, in modern-day Iraq, where there was a large Jewish population. (1 Peter 5:13)
What is the meaning of cenaculo?
